Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
LOL
Yeah, I'm sure Mueller would be doing this if there weren't actual crimes involved.
My guess is Sessions, Kushner, and Flynn get tossed under the bus by Trump so he saves his own hide.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Murderer's row of prosecutors vs. A conspiracy of morons, I wonder how this will go.

The problem is, if he tosses them under the bus, why would they continue to be loyal to him? Someone is going to flip to gain immunity, that's how this thing goes straight to the top.
Yep. And it's ridiculous. Dude must feel so out of his depth.

Kasowitz to Trump: Everythings ok
Kasowitz silently mouths to Melania: Everything's not ok

That underlined sentence makes it seem like they looking into that stuff for sure. Why else hire someone who has experience in that kinda topic imo.

I am not going to go so far as to say I believe in that dossier, or read Mensch/Taylor tweets and take them seriously. I don't. But it does seem interesting to me that Mueller is picking prosecutors that specialize in RICO and accounting fraud (aka laundering), and that Trump's main personal lawyer ALSO is known for defending in RICO cases.

Is this the new phase of 'nothing will happen'?
'Nothing will happen'
'Nothing will happen to Trump, but his associates/family will fall' <---
'Nothing will happen to the soul and spirit of Trump, even though his physical manifestation will fall.'
'Nothing will happen to the philosophical concept of 'Trump', even though the person will fall.'
Yeah, it seems like he's putting together a team that's designed to bring down an entire criminal organization - not necessarily a small group of people
Why flip on the guy who is going to pardon you?

Anyone ever see the Red Dwarf episode where Rimmer chucks Lister, the Cat and Kryten in quarantine under the pretence he's playing it by the book after exposure to a potential crazy virus.
The crew methodically try to go through the rule book and eventually Kryten thinks of a technical loophole to nail Rimmer logically. They present it to him and...there's no point, Rimmer's already gone mad
I've no idea why that came to my head reading this.

There will be indictments and people will go to jail. I just don't think Trump will be one of them.

I don't think Trump could survive politically if he pardons one or more of his associates.

If enough go down, people will start talking. I highly doubt many of these assholes are going not snitch on Trump.
At this point, I'd be reluctantly satisfied with Trump's precious brand being ruined. It's everything to him and his disgusting family.

They do a lot of great journalism. It's not just a fashion magazine.
If people immediately below Trump start going down then I think Trump goes down with them. Someone's gonna squeal.
I really don't know how much political survival is a part of his calculus. He fired the FBI director investigating his campaign and then admitted as much on TV two days later! His winning the election has completely fucked up his perceptions of political survival, because he endured many scandals that candidates normally shouldn't survive and then won at the end of it. In his mind, any of that conventional wisdom is bullshit to be ignored and any polls showing how unpopular he is are fake news.
It's also a moot point if none of this comes to a head until after 2020. If he's re-elected, what does he care about political survival?
In terms of the Russia probe, I agree. As far as obstruction of justice goes... well, I don't really see Trump being walked out in handcuffs either, but at the same time, that's an investigation placed squarely on him, with no one to deflect to or throw under the bus. So I guess we'll see.
I can't imagine Trump getting out unscathed, the main reason being that he is such an unpleasant asshole. Like, personally speaking, no one likes him aside from maybe his own children. People are going to be eager to rat on a man who will gladly throw anyone else under the bus before he gets the chance to fuck them first.

Can't pardon if they're convicted by the State, not the Fed.
Is there a reason you posted the GQ story, even including them in the thread title, when it's just a repost of a Politico article?
Maybe, but this isn't an example of their great journalism. It's just them reposting what Politico reported on.

IIRC Comey was asked yesterday if the investigation had morphed into being about more than just the election and he replied "I can't comment on that," so that might be true.
